Fluffy Truffles with a Candy Cane and White Chocolate Icing

Step 2 CLEAN

Probably the biggest and most forgotten step in making candy is cleaning, or at least for me.  You will need a full clean shelf in the fridge, lots of clean counter space/table space, and a clean empty sink.  It will make your life a whole lot easier because time is a factor, and you can't afford to realize you have no place to do such-n-such step because there's no room.  It's also easier to clean-as-you-go when you're working in a clean kitchen.
